RJL Contracting describes its work on its website as running "from septic systems to commercial site work" and says it has been in business 30 years. The website lists a service area that includes Belchertown, Amherst, Northampton, Ludlow, Chicopee and Springfield. A recent customer says RJL did excavation work on their property after Jake met with them to discuss the project and followed up with a written estimate. That customer says they came on time as promised and took the time to review the work with them. On a backyard expansion project, a recent customer says Jake kept them updated on costs before moving forward and the work was completed on time. Jake graded a backyard and added loam, one recent customer says, and coordinated with the company hydroseeding the yard. A recent customer says RJL graded a driveway and created a shed pad, and calls the company fairly priced. A recent customer praised French drainage work and says Jake showed up on time. A 2025 customer said Jake started and finished on time on a project reconfiguring and resurfacing a 1000-foot driveway.
Excellent French drainage! Thank you so much Jake! He was honest, timely and very kind! I would highly recommend him. The price was excellent and came in with a perfect estimate. Yard looks amazing when he was done. He showed up on time and he was so professional.
Jake and team are great. Easy to work with, responsive, and are fairly priced. Great job grading a driveway and creating a shed pad. We are looking forward to working with RJL for future projects!
RJL did excavation work on my property today and I am extremely happy with the job. Jake met with me a few weeks ago to discuss the project and followed up the meeting with a written estimate. He was very professional and polite. We agreed on a date for the job and they came on time today as promised. Both Jake and Rene were very thorough and kept working until we were all completely satisfied. They did not rush and took the time to review the work with me. I would definitely use their services again. I highly recommend RJL Contracting.
RJL did a great job on our backyard expansion project. Our yard was in rough shape before they started, and it looks so much better now. Jake was friendly, easy to work with, and communicated clearly throughout the project. He was very conscious of our budget, always giving us options and keeping us updated on costs before moving forward. The work was completed efficiently and on time, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!!!
Jake recently graded our backyard and added loam. he coordinated with the company hydroseeding the yard and had them here the morning after he was done. It's been 4 weeks and the yard looks incredible! Thanks so much Jake, see you next spring to knock out the front yard.
